2008 World Yo-Yo Contest Mod ContestA contest for the best modified or home-made yo-yoRules:

All entries must be submitted for judging at the event no later than 3:00 PM Thursday, July 31st, 2008; Entries should be turned in at the registration desk;

Only one (1) entry per person, and the entry must have been modded/made by only one person;

Entries may be by proxy (Someone else can bring your yo-yo, you need not be at the world yo-yo contest to enter; however the person entering the yo-yo on your behalf must be familiar enough with the yo-yo and it's maker/modder to answer basic questions about the yo-yo);

All entries must be in a small bag or box and have the name, address, and e-mail if available of the person entering;

Written descriptions detailing the features of the yo-yo are encouraged (if the judges can't figure out what you've created, or all the important aspects thereof, it's your fault, not the judges');

The judging/scoring will be on a 0 to 100 point scale (with 100 points being the highest possible score per judge).

* This year, awards will be given for the best homemade/scratch built entry, the best modded yo-yo (approximately 75 percent of parts must come from existing production yoyos), and an overall winner. Judges: Eric Wolff, Dave Schulte, Bill De Boisblanc, Alan Gray, Kyle Weems and a player(s) to be named at a later date.
